In the event you were unable to join us, you can listen to the recorded Webex by clicking on one of the following link:

On the Team Livestrong front, the inaugural Livestrong Honor 5K/10K on September 17 was a success! We had over 1,100 registrants, raised $65,000 and we honored survivors in several ways…by handing out medals, providing survivor shirts, offering premier start line positions, and posting tribute cards on course. In addition, we have a new tribute wall that will be on-site at The Challenge and other future Livestrong events!

Speaking of The Challenge, a matching campaign starts on September 21. Challenge participants that raise $100 between September 21 and September 30 will receive a $100 match to their fundraising center.

Finally and as a reminder, we are hosting a casual reception for any Leaders in town on Saturday, October 21 from 5-6 PM at Livestrong headquarters. Wine, beer and light hors d'oeuvres will be served. You may have already received an Evite for the happy hour reception. If you haven’t already RSVP’d, you can do so now by clicking on the invitation here. Be sure to RSVP so we have plenty of food and beverage.
